Accomplished but Unhappy, Tense, Stuck?

I provide insightful, active psychotherapy for high-functioning adults seeking freedom from anxiety, depression, negative routines, and conflicted relationships.

I offer individual therapy for adults who feel stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, troublesome relationship patterns, and other related life patterns. My work is particularly helpful for those who are conscientious, sensitive, anxious, low in assertiveness, or introspective. People who have spent years trying to manage life through control, accommodation, avoiding conflict, and careful planning, but have been repeatedly disappointed by how limiting that approach eventually becomes.

Analyzing your own troubles is like trying to see your own face with no mirror. The more stuck you feel, the more you see the unknown as only ‘bad’, and the less you want to take any new chances.

Through therapy, we:

  • Explore the patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, identifying, and relating that have guided your life
  • Identify how those patterns could be limiting your well-being or relationships
  • Define how those patterns were learned, as well as how to weaken them
  • Develop insight and increased agency to make new choices that align with your authentic values
  • Support you so you can practice and strengthen those choices

Therapy is collaborative, reflective, and tailored to your unique experience. If you’re ready to understand the strategies that once helped you succeed — and how to shift them so they no longer hold you back — this work is for you.

The way to self-confidence, self-trust, self-compassion is expanded awareness. But you are upset, confused, and stuck in what you think you already know.

The time is now for growth and movement

My goal is to help you reduce your emotional pain and find those new ways of being, acting, and thinking. Instead of finding dead ends by yourself, you can leverage my training and years of experience in resolving painful conflicts and calming the shocks of life.

If you’ve had enough seeking for answers and strategies all alone, if you’ve had enough anxiety and apathy from roadblocks, then I’m here for you. Reach out to me below, and let’s get talking and moving.
